Summary

Haymon-Morris Middle School in Winder, GA, serves 973 students in grades 6-8 within the Barrow County School District, and has climbed from the 41st to the 67th percentile in state rankings over the past four years, now holding a 3-star rating.

The school’s standout strength is its advanced coursework. In the most recent school year, 93.4% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, and 94.1% were proficient in High School Physical Science—nearly double the district and state averages. This makes Haymon-Morris the clear leader among its district peers, outperforming both Russell Middle School and Westside Middle School in nearly every subject and grade level tested. For example, in 8th-grade math, Haymon-Morris posted a 49.1% proficiency rate, compared to 37.2% at Russell and 29.7% at Westside. The school also earns high marks for supporting English Language Learners, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide for that subgroup. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has dropped from 23.2% to 14.7% over the same period, now below both district and state averages—a promising sign for school culture and engagement.

However, performance in standard grade-level subjects is more mixed. While 6th-grade math proficiency (40.8%) matches the state average, 8th-grade science proficiency (25.9%) lags behind the state (29.7%). The school also faces a significant gap when compared to higher-performing schools in neighboring districts, such as Dove Creek Middle School in Oconee County, where 8th-grade math proficiency reaches 89.7%. Notably, Haymon-Morris achieves its results cost-efficiently, spending $12,416 per student—less than several nearby schools like Jordan Middle School ($15,947). While the school excels in advanced tracks and ELL support, there is room for growth in on-grade-level instruction, particularly in science, and in serving certain student subgroups more consistently.
